Dear friend, ait alone tonight,
And so to you fain would write,
But not in humdrum black and white
With common ink and paper.
Such words a. I would say to you
should blxzoned be in tender hue,
As monks of old in miasal drew
Initials tall and taper.
II could borrow Just part
OF all their quaint symbolic art
Nigh translate what's in my heart
Perhaps, In fitting fashion.
But where's the modern pen can hold
Sufficient store Of red and gold
To paint this leAf1et, snowy-cold,
With tints Vt pain or psssiOni
In vain you'll seek, then, on this page,
Fair fancies from bygone age:
Yet, II you wiah my thoughts TO gauge,
There is q way Of cleaning
Loves golden grain that through them shines;
So do not heed these written sigma,
For you must read between the lines
10 gather all my meaning.

the plumb-bob would not settle, but kept moving

contact the plumb center. They bad made their
calculations from this point, and Mr.. Coryen said
they were all wrong He made hts expert

on those lines the sections OF the tunnel would

TIE SONG OF THE DUDE.
By aEoEan B. JrNxsss OF ouKsxxo. KAs.

10 refuse You song
Would appear very rude,
And i've finally concluded
To sing of the dude;
That half human creature
With head like man.
And otherwise built,
On the biblical plan.
Who with smirk and a scrape
And eickly smile,
With mustache curled,
The girls to beguile;
With tieht fitting pants,
And corseted waist,
Parades on the street
As fellow of taste.
He's a nice little,
Fair Ii tie specimen brio.
OF the kind of creations
That make man sick;
With his hair from the middle
Combed sticky each way,
And the airs of donkey,
= Excepting his bray.
One would think Just to see him,
Stood out on the walk,
He was sign for tailor,
And not made 20 talk;
So ETHEREAL his makeup,
So exquisite his clothes,
That the use he was made for.
No one can propose.
With small glove drawn over
The tip of his hand.
And posing an orange
So grac' full and bland,
His other hand grasps,
With an appearance of pain,
A fantastical silver.
They call dude cane.
It's enough to make angels
Come down here and weep,
To see THE queer creature
at the dudesses peep,
And to know it's their duty,
When the tender thing dies
To hunt out his soul,
To transport to the skies.

The Future of the whit. Races.

AsDSSOs
Christian Intelligence.
In four hundred years, from the begin
cling of the fourteenth to the end of tn,
seventeenth century, the population O
England increased only from two and 1
half millions to five millions. One hun
dred years ago the population of Grea,
Britain was below thirteen millions, but
now, Notwithstanding the great emigra.
tion, it is three times as numerous. Ir
England and Scotland alone there are
twenty five millions of inhabitants.
Take wider view of the white races
In Its, the population Of Europe was
in round numbers. las millions; il
1888, it will amount to $50 millions
Besides, IN North and South America
South Africa. and Australia, there are
seventy millions more of European race,
making total Of 420 millions or more
than third of the human family. They
possess more than half of the globe, and
have attained supremacy over the
races Of Asia, Africa and the Islands OF
the seas, they are not likely to lose.
They also control the wealth of the
world. The capital of England, France
and the United States has reached the
enormous amount of $4,000 millions OF
pounds sterling, OF $4,000, 600, 900,
If the wealth of Germany, Austria, Rus
eia, Holland, Belgium and Italy be
added to this vast sum, it is evident that
the capital of the remainder of the races
of the world becomes insignificant. And
the increase of the worlds wealth is
among these peoples. In less than q
century English capital has increased
sevenfo]d. At present that of Germany
is increasing in large proportion.
IL contrast with this, the only popu
lation worthy of comparison is that of
India. There are 24O millions OF peo-
pie of ITO persons to the square mile,
increasing at the rate of one per cent. q
year. The Chinese emigrants, who go
from limited portion of the empire,
add very slowly to their numbers by
natural increase, while at home, within
China, it is believed that the growth of
the population is almost stationary.
The Semitic and Negro races are also
stationary in every respect.
What is the prospect in the future.
The white Aryans, as they are ethnolog
ically called, are likely to become tn
predominant stock in numbers, energy,
wealth and enterprise. The earth and
its tullness is quite certain to become
their possession.

Cross ties, the ties being piled up in each
end of the car. During the trip and not

front part of the train got to the next
station and side tracked without discov.
ering the accident. Another train came,
rounded curve and dashed on meeting
the section and making terrible wreck.
Smith and his partner were taken from
among the cross-ties horribly mutilated.
Smith had both bones of one leg broken
off above the ankle; the opposite ankle
dislocated; one arm badly broken or
badly bruised; one thumb cut clean of;
one ear torn almost off; one eye almost
crushed out; his lip badly cut and
bruises all over his body. A surgeon
was called and dressed his wounds. He
was in q critical condition, but it is
thought he will recover. He did not
know how his partner of this terrible
